Title: How to prevent automatic diagram rescaling?
Post by: michielper on October 18, 2021, 08:05:59 pm

I run into an extremely annoying behaviour... I have a medium complex SysML diagram, containing 10 elements, many ports and connectors. Now, when I change anything, like moving the position of a connector or an element, other elements automagically move outward, making the diagram larger. When I move elements back, other elements start moving outward! Very annoying indeed! How do I prevent this behaviour??

Did this ever get resolved... it is basically limiting me to using EA for small and simple models and switching tools as soon as models get big and complex (in particular wrt deep hierarchy). It really should be possible to turn this functionality off when it goes past the point where it causes much more work than it removes

I've never witnessed this behavior. Do you remember setting a specific setting that started this behavior?
